HRK and Church make Wales squad

Reading forwards Hal Robson-Kany and Simon Church have been selected for the Wales squad to face Mexico.

It is Chris Coleman’s first squad selection since taking over as manager from the late Gary Speed. Robson-Kanu impressed in front of the new Wales manager in their loss to Costa Rica a few months ago, almost getting on the scoresheet. Simon Church was injured for that game and therefore wasn’t selected in the squad.

The match will take place against Mexico in New York on 27th May. No other Royals have been required for international duty, with Noel Hunt and Ian Harte not included in Giovanni Trapattoni’s Republic of Ireland squad for Euro 2012.
